How to change an Audi Etron flat tire.

[@IamJaiG]

Never seen such a complete informative video on anything like this. Really a wonderful person he is and very much kind enough to help the humanity. I wish this man be in a high position soon to help fellow human beings. 👍

[@robertforehand1631]

Great video! I was always taught to "crack" the bolts loose before jacking the car up (for safety) but loved the rest! Thx!

[@jakepoore5894]

Thank you so much for this video! You saved my butt in 98° temperature in Orlando. I appreciate you.

[@theofficialnikkisnews]

This was helpful! I don’t think AAA filled the spare tire for my Q8 enough.

[@avamer2000]

Thanks for posting such a thorough and complete process of replacing the tire. Very helpful. Awesome man!

[@roadsideguy5902]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks

[@schawlaf]

Thanks buddy , your video is a life saver , got my first flat after running just 200kms and your video prevented me from messing things up , PS in Pakistan , the alligator clip is kept in front - now the only thing left is how to put the tool box back , forgot to take a photo when taking things out :)

Thank you so much!!!!!!!

[@severinwolf497]

Thank you for the video

[@shunt8084]

From other vids, I think you need to inflate with the Audi inflator. More powerful inflators can result in unequal tire inflation ( tread seems to align with a side versus being centered). Thanks for the vid. Should be required viewing for Audi owners to prevent surprises.

Thanks a lot ! That was very usefull!!!

Thank you so much!!!!

[@roadsideguy5902]

Thanks glad I could help.

Nice job bud, Needle nose pillars works for dust caps just have to be careful

[@roadsideguy5902]

Thanks, but unfortunately, needle nose pliers will scratch the wheel because of the angle of the pliers. I have tried it all. Pliers, screwdrivers, the little metal curly q looking tool that sometimes cones with Euro cars. Nothing will work without scratching except the black alligator tool. Thanks for watching as always. Much appreciated.

Thanks, Roadside guy for a great video and for taking the time to go through the whole procedure.

[@roadsideguy5902]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for the comment.

[@shrkfmrdr]

Thank you

[@harneetsingh1008]

Thank you bro, just coming after changing tire of my audi etron . I played your video throughout the process. Thank you soo so much

[@roadsideguy5902]

I'm glad it helped. I appreciate your commenting. I like helping, so it's nice to know I helped.

[@robertcourteau4320]

If your car came equipped with anti-theft bolts, the tool (and the 4 standard bolts that got replaced by the anti-theft ones) are in a grey plastic box in the frunk. There’s usually another alligator clip in there.

[@benjaminhanke79]

Interesting. But I think a spare wheel which doesn't come pre inflated makes even less sense than a tire repair kit.

[@adalba7702]

its just a space saver

[@enriquearagon4589]

Great video, on my 2023 VW ID.4 it doesn’t have a spare,and I already got my first flat that ruined the tire, do you know where I can buy the collapsible spare tire for it? Thank you in advance.

[@roadsideguy5902]

Probably the dealership, but perhaps a non collapsible spare can fit. Junkyard or Facebook Marketplace might have one.

[@adalba7702]

I think the spare should be placed on the front axle only. So in such case you would have to replace one of the front tires with the spare, and then take that front tire and swap it with the flat tire on the rear.

[@roadsideguy5902]

@adalba7702 No, you want the wider more load baring tire in the front.

[@SuperDeemz]

Great video, thanks so much! Do you need to set the air suspension into the tire change mode or you just jack it up?

[@worldisfilledb]

Just jack it up

[@RadimStrnad]

​@@worldisfilledbtire change mode make it easier and faster

[@oli31]

yes you definitely should, its there for a reason

[@formerpilot]

what about meeting the correct torque in ft-lbs?

[@roadsideguy5902]

Does the factory supply a factory torque wrench? As long as you have it as tight as a human can tighten it you will be just fine. If using an impact make sure to not over tighten.

[@robertcourteau4320]

I would not recommend torquing the bolts off or on while the car is raised. These roadside jacks are flimsy.

[@roadsideguy5902]

Good advice. Thanks for watching.

[@Avean]

How will a workshop be able to change wheels for you on this car with a custom jack + a custom tool to even take out the bolt covers :o

[@roadsideguy5902]

With a lift and the factory tools I suppose.

[@worldisfilledb]

What a dumb question lol

[@justinbukoski1]

I replaced the wheels and tires on my ETRON as soon as a got it. The shop used hydraulic hand jacks with spacers on the lift points. Worked fine. Do recommend using the tire change mode and don't forget to reset the TPMS

[@robertcourteau4320]

If you see a shop try to use the car jack, run. Far, and fast. For any car, that is.

[@adalba7702]

theres a little accessory you can buy that can be placed on the jack so that it fits into the e-tron spots

[@daveellis5100]

Recorded horizontally :)

[@roadsideguy5902]

My favorite.

[@Alliespapa]

You missed a step, bud. Because the Etron is AWD, the AWD needs to be disabled and put into FWD. Says it in your manual. If you have a spare tire on your Etron and you do not disable the AWD, you will destroy your AWD drive train. To disable the AWD, a fuse has to be replaced with a spare tire fuse. That is why I watched this video. Hoping to watch where this fuse is and replaced. So in this case, since a spare tire fuse was not used, the car needs to be towed anyway.

[@roadsideguy5902]

Wow I had no idea. Thanks for the advice. Much appreciated.

[@davidweeks6090]

Can you use a floor jack on those lifting points or do you have to use the factory jack to avoid damage?

[@roadsideguy5902]

You can use a floor jack on those.

[@JT_70]

Always make sure to have a flat on the Audi when you are not in a hurry to get somewhere. What a ridiculously convoluted, time-consuming process!

[@roadsideguy5902]

100% Thanks for watching
